The “K Constant” is the number of pulses per Kilometer emitted by a transducer and received by a taximeter.
K
The pulses can be emitted by the car’s electronic transducer or, if the car is not provide of it, by the Digitax
mechanical one. This constant can be knowed or be tested on road.
Constant = Pulses/Kilometer
How to find out the K-Constant value (Autotest)
Follow this procedure to find out the car tansmission ratio (K-constant).
For a right procedure it must be done in a road with a carefully marked distance of 1 Kilometer.
Align carefully the car’s front wheels with the test distance‘s start line.
Select position.
Press and buttons at the same time.

distance run.
Keep note of this value. The aim of it is to calibrate the taximeter to calculate
the K-constant.
Press button to end the procedure and go back to
